Prepare to set sail on an epic journey through the Age of Sail, a time of adventure, conflict, and maritime supremacy. In this captivating book, we take you on a voyage to discover the world of naval warfare in the 18th and 19th centuries.

From the mighty ships of the line, with their towering masts and cannons, to the sleek and swift frigates, these vessels ruled the waves. We delve into the design and construction of these warships, exploring the challenges of maintaining a fleet and the lives of the men who crewed them.

But it is the sailors themselves who truly bring this era to life. We meet the ordinary seamen, the skilled navigators, and the legendary admirals who shaped the course of naval history. We learn about their daily lives, their hopes and fears, and the sacrifices they made in service of their country.

This book is a testament to the courage, adventure, and sacrifice of the men who sailed the seas in the Age of Sail. It is a story that has shaped the course of human history and continues to fascinate us today. Join us as we embark on this epic voyage, a journey that will transport you to a time when the wind and the waves held the key to power and glory.

    A timely look at how the Electoral College has changed US history and why it endures—told through the lenses of specific people who both influenced the process and were impacted by the results. 
     
     
     
    "Over the years, no feature of the Constitution has attracted more criticism than that strange creature called the Electoral College. Thomas E. Weaver has made that history into a story with an intriguing cast of characters, some familiar, several new to me. If you want to know why it is so hard to do away with this long-standing anachronism, Weaver's story will help you understand." —JOSEPH J. ELLIS, Professor Emeritus of History, Mount Holyoke College, author of Pulitzer Prize–winning Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 
     
     
     
    "Those who think that throwing stones at political institutions is the same as reasoned debate should take some lessons from this carefully researched book. With a cast of colorful characters in tow, Weaver examines the long-standing controversies surrounding the EC and sets out numerous proposals for reform, which range from outright abolition to removing the "plus two" clause. Weaver brings a wealth of historical research to the task, writing with authority and clarity." —Kirkus

    We all have a natural emotional healing process, just as we do a natural physical healing process within us. When we get a wound, our bodies' natural healing process takes care of it. When emotionally painful events occur in our lives, we usually manage to overcome them and move on with our lives. On the other hand, a cut does not always heal until it has been cleaned and an antibiotic has been applied. Similarly, when something emotionally upsetting occurs, the brain's processing system isn't always able to absorb it and put it into the context of our entire lives without assistance. Sometimes we are completely unaware of what is going on.Although the image of the incident may not come to us consciously, we may feel unworthy, sad, afraid, or nauseous. We may be unaware that we are being swamped with dysfunctionally stored material from the past. We may act in ways we later regret and not wholly comprehend why. The EMDR method recognizes that you aren't reacting on purpose; the triggered memories are at the root of your actions that aren't consistent with who you are now. EMDR can assist the brain's processing system repair emotional wounds in the same way that an antibiotic ointment can help cure a cut. It's still your own internal process conducting the healing; EMDR simply "jump starts" it when it's needed and speeds it up.Once the isolated "land mine" of trauma has been reprocessed using EMDR, it is neutralized, meaning it will no longer go off and flood into the present. It's woven into the fabric of your existence, so it appears to be over and cannot derail you from your current state of bliss.The information appears to be stimulated, and the brain can reprocess the situation due to eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. Eye movements are only a tiny part of EMDR. In processing traumatic memories, current concerns, or future fears, integrates imagery, beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations.

    This real-life Western tells the story of how citizens in a small Arizona border town stood up to anti-immigrant militias and vigilantes. 
     
     
     
    The Marauders uncovers the riveting nonfiction saga of far-right militias terrorizing the border towns of southern Arizona. In one of the towns profiled, Arivaca, rogue militia members killed a man and his nine-year-old daughter in 2009. In response, the residents organized and spent two years trying to push  the new militias out through boycotts and by urging local businesses to  ban  them. The militias and vigilante groups again raised the stakes, spreading Pizzagate-style conspiracy theories alleging that town residents were complicit in child sex trafficking, prompting fears of vigilante violence. 
     
      
     
    The Marauders flips the standard formula most often applied to stories about immigration and the far right. Too often those stories are told from the perspective of the ones committing the violence. While Strickland doesn't shy away from exploring those dark themes, the far right are not the protagonists of the book. Rather, the people targeted by hate groups, and the individuals who rose up to stop them in their tracks, are the heroes of this dramatic story.

    A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
     
     
     
    If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
     
     
     
    In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.
